The sequenced psychological response to presence of a stressor is termed?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks for the term that describes the sequenced psychological response to the presence of a stressor.
Option a: General Adaptation Syndrome. This is the correct terminology for the body's three-stage process in response to stress: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion, as proposed by Selye. It captures the sequence and the generalized nature of the response.
Option b: General Stress Syndrome. This phrase is not the established term used in psychology for the organized, staged response to stress. It sounds plausible but is not the canonical label.
Option c: Stress Response Sequence. While this describes the idea of a sequence of responses to stress, it is a descriptive phrase rather than the formal name used in theory. Hence it’s incorrect as the canonical term.
Option d: Stress Adaptation Response. This combines words that hint at adaptation, but it is not the standard name for the well-known three-stage model. It may reflect a general idea of adaptation but does not match the recognized terminology.
In summary, among the options provided, General Adaptation Syndrome best matches the established concept of a sequenced physiological response to a stressor, whereas the others are nonstandard terms that do not refer to the same well-defined model.
